Three and Five in Peril, a Classic Duel

While Tang Hao was exchanging ideas with Oscar, Tang San and Xiao Wu, far away in the Silves Kingdom, were not so lucky.

A week ago, they escaped through a secret passage under the cover of the Lou Gao. They thought that after disguising themselves, they could return to Heaven Dou City and find Tai Tan, the patriarch of the Strength Clan. However, they did not expect to be kidnapped in a valley today.

The group that arrived was small, consisting of one Soul Emperor and two Spirit Kings. These three were not their main force, but rather one of the smaller teams that had been hunting them down in batches.

The Soul Emperor leading the group looked at Tang San and Xiao Wu, who were surrounded, and a sinister smile appeared on his face beneath his mask.

"Heh, as expected of a genius with Twin Martial Souls, the higher-ups have actually put a bounty on your life with a Spirit Bone." The leading Soul Emperor didn't seem to be in a hurry to make a move, as if he already had a kind of confidence that he would definitely succeed.

When they received the mission to kill Tang San, they were all very excited. Although Tang San was a genius with Twin Martial Souls, what was a genius who had not yet grown up?

As long as they kill this kid who is not yet at the Spirit King Realm, they can take his head back to the Spirit Hall and obtain a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone. This is undoubtedly the closest opportunity for them, the Soul Emperor and Spirit King, to get Spirit Bone.

Therefore, at this moment, these three Soul Masters did not even think of informing their companions. After all, with the temptation of a ten -Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, there was no guarantee that others would not try to take the credit.

The three have now reached a consensus: after obtaining the Spirit Bone, they will divide it equally among themselves using items of equal value.

Tang San gripped Xiao Wu's hand tightly, frowning as he stared at the three powerful individuals, all of whom were at least at the Spirit King Realm.

The current situation is very unfavorable to him. Although he and Xiao Wu have just broken through to level 50, they have not yet obtained their Fifth Spirit Ring. With two teams and three members, there is still a gap in strength.

However, Tang San and Xiao Wu could not be captured so easily, because the other side never intended to let them live.

Tang San snorted coldly, "What kind of skill is it to bully the weak with numbers? Now that you've found me, how about we make a bet?"

Upon hearing Tang San's words, the three Spirit Hall experts couldn't help but burst into laughter.

A Spirit King sneered, "Gamble? You're already a sitting duck. What right do you have to gamble with us?"

Tang San smiled slightly, "Since you need my head to go back and report, what if my body is completely destroyed?"

As Tang San spoke, he took out a porcelain bottle from the Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight Night at his waist and held it in his hand, his eyes filled with determination.

"Although I am no match for the three of you, I can still control my own life and death. As long as I crush this porcelain bottle, I will be reduced to ashes in an instant. Then I'll see how you report back."

Upon hearing Tang San's words, the three exchanged glances and hesitated. Clearly, Tang San's unwavering determination to die for his cause had indeed threatened them.

If they cannot prove that Tang San was killed by them, then they will miss out on that Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone.

The Soul Emperor's eyes flashed as he transmitted his voice to the other two, saying, "He's just trying to buy time. Let's pretend to agree to him first, and then you two find an opportunity to kill him and that little girl with one blow, so he can't pull any tricks!"

The other two blinked to indicate that they understood the intention. Then the Soul Emperor said, "Hehe, you do have some guts. It's not in vain that you can exchange your life for a Spirit Bone."

"Since you want to gamble on a variable, then I will grant your wish. However, I can tell you clearly that no matter what methods you possess, in front of me, the Soul Emperor, I am the variable for everything!"

Hearing the other party's words, Tang San was not affected at all. He simply cupped his hands slightly to the Soul Emperor and said, "Then let's settle this with a battle. We will fight fairly without using Soul Skill. If I win, you only need to let us leave and give us one day."

Upon hearing this, the Soul Emperor's smile widened even further, "You possess Twin Martial Souls, Second Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, is the number one Weapon Spirit in the world. So this is what you were planning."

"However, I can promise you that I will make you understand the insurmountable gap between Soul Emperor and Soul Ancestor. Even without using Soul Skill, I can still kill you with my absolute level advantage."

The Soul Emperor said with a playful smile, "And what if you lose?"

Tang San said with a serious expression, "If I lose, I will personally give you my head."

Upon hearing this, the Soul Emperor burst into laughter. "Good! You've got guts!"

Tang San continued, "However, to be fair, let's all Spirit Oath, shall we?"

Upon hearing this, the Soul Emperor immediately agreed. If Tang Spirit Oath, he would be even less afraid of Tang San going back on his word.

As for Tang San winning? That's completely impossible. Even without using Soul Skill, there's still a difference of two Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings and more than ten levels of Soul Power between him and Tang San! Both of them Spirit Oath. Then, the other two Spirit Kings each took a position to prevent Tang San and Xiao Wu from escaping, while the Soul Emperor quietly watched Tang San from the open ground.

When Tang San saw that the other party had agreed, he let go of Xiao Wu's hand and was about to step forward to fight when Xiao Wu Tang San grabbed his hand.

"Brother, are you really going to do this?" Xiao Wu's eyes were full of worry.

Tang San nodded and whispered in Xiao Wu's ear, "Do as I tell you, and I'm 70% confident I can take them down."

Xiao Wu pursed her lips, then her eyes gradually hardened, and she nodded seriously, saying, "I understand, brother. I will definitely not be a burden to you."

Tang San patted Xiao Wu's rabbit ears, then turned and walked towards the Soul Emperor.

Tang San faced off, while Xiao Wu stood to the side, only ten meters away from the Spirit King closest to her.

The two Spirit King fixed their gazes on Xiao Wu, preparing to strike first.

The Soul Emperor, however, continued to smile as he looked at Tang San and said, "Boy, no matter how much you struggle today, your fate will not change."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Soul Emperor's body trembled and began to swell. Rough brown hairs grew on his body, and he, who was already tall and burly, transformed into a humanoid bear.

At the same time, six Soul Ring— Soul Ring Two Yellow Two Purple, and two black—rose and pulsed on his body, but soon they disappeared again, leaving only his Martial Soul Possession.

Tang San's brow twitched when he saw the other party's Martial Soul: a bear-type Martial Soul. Among the people he knew, only Teacher Zhao such a martial soul.

Although this Soul Emperor's strength is not as good as Teacher Zhao's, his bear-type Martial Soul is outstanding in both strength and defense, except for speed, which increases the pressure on him even more.

However, at this moment, Tang San clearly had no chance of backing down. A black giant hammer, 1.5 meters long, appeared in his left hand. Tang San carried the Clear Sky Hammer on his shoulder, and his eyes were already tinged with a purple light.

This was not Soul Fighting battle, but a life-or-death struggle, so no one would announce their level or Martial Soul. The two released their Martial Soul at almost the same time and then charged at each other simultaneously.

The Raging Bear Soul Emperor charged towards Tang San like a human bulldozer, and Tang San, dragging his Clear Sky Hammer, met him head-on.

Although he was two Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring behind his opponent, he was not without a chance to turn the tables.

He began forging at a young age, so his physical strength was more resilient than that of other Soul Master of the same level. Later, after entering Shrek Academy, he consumed Whale Rubber and Ninth-Grade Primordial Pill, and even absorbed a ten- Ten Thousand Year Level Torso Soul Bone.

With the accumulation of all these resources, his physical attributes are now almost on par with those of Soul Emperor- level Soul Master, which is why he proposed not to use Soul Skill.

With both sides having roughly the same physical abilities, it was a battle of equal strength for Tang San.

Aside from facing exceptional individuals like Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Dai Mubai, he has never lost a battle against opponents of the same level.

Tang San wielded the Clear Sky Hammer and slammed it down, colliding directly with the Raging Bear Soul Emperor's paw. To the Bear Soul Emperor's surprise, the power of Tang San's hammer was almost equal to his own. Was this the terror of the Clear Sky Hammer? Even without any attached Soul Ring, it possessed such power? The Raging Bear Soul Emperor was incredibly astonished, but he still didn't take Tang San seriously. After all, he was a Soul Emperor, while Tang San, although level 50, didn't even have Fifth Spirit Ring. There was a difference of two Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring between them.

The difference is not something that a Clear Sky Hammer without Soul Ring can make up for.

Although the Raging Bear Soul Emperor was surprised, his offensive did not stop at all. He did not believe that Tang San, a Quasi-Soul King with only four Soul Rings, could maintain this level of power.

What's more, he hadn't even used his full strength yet! Because he also wanted to have some fun with the Clear Sky Hammer and test the power of this number one Weapon Spirit in the world.

After all, if he were to face a Clear Sky Hammer Soul Master of the same level, he might not have the strength to defeat them.

Tang San's eyes shone with a purple light as he activated his Purple Demon Eye to its fullest extent, searching for his opponent's weakness. At the same time, he swung his Clear Sky Hammer.

Starting from the calf, the calf drives the thigh, the thigh drives the waist, the waist drives the upper body, and the upper body drives the arm, unleashing a full-force hammer blow! This hammer collided with the Raging Bear Soul Emperor's paw once again, and the force was even greater than the previous blow!

The Raging Bear Soul Emperor's eyes narrowed. "The Berserker Cloak Hammer Technique? So that's how it is! No wonder you, a mere level 50 Quasi-Soul King, dared to challenge me!"

"So what if Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer? Even if you can make up for the difference in attack power, how can you make up for the difference of more than ten levels of Soul Power?"

With a furious roar, the Raging Bear Soul Emperor no longer bothered with any pretense or playful tactics, and launched a full-scale attack!

He certainly knew about the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer; it was the highest level of forging method used by blacksmiths, and also a special way of exerting force.

If an ordinary person uses the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, the combat power they can unleash is actually limited. However, if it is a hammer-type Martial Soul, then its power will be incomparable to that of the same kind.

The Clear Sky Hammer is the best among them. The Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, which can be used with the Clear Sky Hammer, is enough to double the combat power of a Soul Master. This is why the Raging Bear Soul Emperor no longer holds back.

Although he didn't believe that Tang San could learn the complete Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer at such a young age, Tang San was no ordinary Soul Master, but a genius with Twin Martial Souls.

The Raging Bear Soul Emperor always regarded geniuses and himself as two different kinds of people, because some geniuses are truly extraordinary.

Therefore, just in case, the Raging Bear Soul Emperor planned to nip any potential problems in the bud.

However, when he actually fought Tang San, the Raging Bear Soul Emperor realized just how terrifying Tang San was.

The opponent was just a child in his teens, yet his strength and physical abilities had reached the same level as his own? Moreover, under the effect of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer became more and more powerful with each strike. As the Clear Sky Hammer in Tang San's hand grew stronger and stronger, the Raging Bear Soul Emperor began to feel the pressure! He was extremely surprised, never expecting that Tang San, who was only at level fifty, could possess such terrifying strength.

It was only at this moment that he realized he had completely fallen into Tang San's trap. What fair one-on-one? Even the Spirit Oath was just a trick to get him to cooperate.

Because this brat really has the potential to defeat him without using Soul Skill!

However, the Raging Bear Soul Emperor, having experienced countless battles, was filled with many speculations and anger, but at this moment he was also fighting Tang San with all his heart.

Tang San was equally solemn. Although his strategy had succeeded, defeating a Soul Emperor would still be extremely difficult if he didn't go all out.

Although the opponent did not use Soul Skill, the Beast Spirit still greatly amplified his own power! While using the Chaotic Wind to deal with the increasingly fierce attacks of the Raging Bear Soul Emperor, Tang San began to use strange footwork to cope with the situation.

When Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track was used in conjunction with Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, Tang San's pressure decreased dramatically. The Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer was stacked up rapidly, quickly reaching thirty-two strikes.

Although Tang San did not learn from Tang Hao as in the original story, Oscar taught him how to use the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer during his two years at the Shrek Academy.

Oscar even used the same approach as in the original novel, where Tang Hao taught Tang San the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, since Tang Hao would teach him in the future regardless of whether Oscar taught him or not.

Therefore, in order to make his influence in front of Tang San more impressive and profound, Oscar handed over everything to Tang San.

So before graduation, Tang San, who had been honing the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer for two years, could barely manage to swing it 81 times. However, he still needed more time and experience to hone his skills before he could unleash the full power of the final blow.

During the year or so that followed, Tang San continuously improved his Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer. Lou Gao had also given him guidance in Geng Xin City, so his Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer was now almost perfected. This is why he dared to challenge the Raging Bear Soul Emperor to a one-on-one duel.

"Thirty-three blows... thirty-four blows... forty blows... forty-one blows..."

When Tang San's Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer was stacked to more than forty strikes, the power of each of Tang San's strikes had already subtly surpassed that of the Raging Bear Soul Emperor. Despite exchanging blows with Tang San for so many rounds, the Raging Bear Soul Emperor had not managed to hit Tang San with his bear paw even once.

This was also what frustrated him, because Tang San's footwork was too unpredictable. Every time his bear paw was about to strike, Tang San would strangely dodge and then smash the Clear Sky Hammer down hard.

Although the Raging Bear Soul Emperor wasn't hit by the Clear Sky Hammer, he was still furious that he hadn't been able to defeat Tang San after so long, and that the bastard 'Raging Bear Soul Emperor attacks were starting to surpass his own.

Just as Tang San was fighting the Raging Bear Soul Emperor, Xiao Wu suddenly winked at a Spirit King and secretly said, "Uncle, you're after Tang San, can you let me go?"

"I am just a weak woman. If you are willing to let me go, I will do anything for you."

When Xiao Wu transmitted her voice, she deliberately showed a delicate and shy appearance, as if she were a porcelain doll that would break at the slightest touch, making her seem pitiful and lovable.

P. S.: Typos will be corrected first and then fixed later.
